St. Pete's Next Mayor - An LGBT Champion or Homophobe? VOTE TUESDAY, SEPT 1

Your vote could decide if St. Petersburg's anti-gay mayor is replaced by a pro-equality champion or someone with an even more homophobic record than the incumbent.

The fourth largest city in the state will be run by either a successful businessman and LGBT supporter -- Scott Wagman, or an anti-gay former City Council Member -- Bill Foster, who fought hard against sexual-orientation protections in the city's Human Rights Ordinance.

You decide Tuesday, Sept. 1st. Go Vote.
